Release: October 28th
Developer: Rose Engine
Price at launch: $20 | £16 | $29.95 AUD
Signalis is a compelling weirdness of sci-fi survival horror, combining geo-ramic pixel art graphics with a plethora of psychological horror. Protagonist Elster is a “replica” lost on a mysterious ice planet, but based on early gameplay footage, the game primarily takes place in an abandoned spaceship.

paper cut mansion
Steam page
Release: October 28th
Developer: Space Lizard Studios
Launch Price: $18 |£15.29 | AU$26.05
Yet another horror game (for Halloween), this entry brings Paper Mario-style art direction to the roguelite genre. As you can imagine, Paper Cut Mansion looks more like a horror game than a whimsical Nintendo RPG, giving the kirigami aesthetic a more mature and painterly look. It’s a top-down survival horror with procedurally generated environments and other roguelite trappings: permanent unlocks that help increase your chances of winning the game. The appeal of an infinitely replayable survival horror game (complete with puzzles, quests, and villains) is obvious, but it’s the art style that elevates Paper Cut Mansion.
